A colossal tragedy has struck Uttarakhand in recent days, with hundreds
of lives lost (the death toll is rising everyday) and whole villages,
roads and communication links wiped out. Rescue and evacuation
operations are still going on in the worst-affected regions of the
state, and need to be continued on a war-footing. SFI demands that the
Central Government extend every help needed to the State government in
relief operations.

The State Government, apart from making full
use of its own machinery to provide relief to those affected, must also
strive to harness and channelise the collective energy of various
organisations for the purpose. It must also investigate the role that
the indiscriminate tunnelling of hills by power projects and the
uncleared dumps of silt had to play in this calamity. As the unfolding
disaster shows, the result of a development strategy feeding upon
untrammelled deforestation and unchecked construction activities has
turned out to be catastrophic.

The CEC of SFI extends its deep
condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives, and
stands in solidarity with the lakhs of people affected. It calls upon
its units all over the country to collect funds and materials urgently
for relief to the affected people.
